That's funny, I used the same trick of making it output an inner monologue. I also noticed that the custom instructions are not being followed anymore. Maybe the RLHF tuning has gotten to the point where it wants to be in "chatty

You think that any rule in any realistic scenario would be just a single sentence containing an ambiguous word without any known surrounding context, clarifications, examples, or rationale? I've never seen such a thing. This scenario i

But there is widespread agreement. Looking at the graphs, the only questions where opinions are in the 40%-60% range are the bike and the tank memorial. Neither of those two is even in the 45%-55% range, and on everything else, there's

"You agreed with the majority: 100%" Which proves it's not actually impossible, the majority opinion is actually sensible, and this take is incorrect. Case closed.

I take offense to that diagram; Germany should refuse to be covered by a PDF that's not in proper DIN format. In theory, DIN paper sizes go all the way from subatomic to the size of the universe. It seems like A(-39) is barely too smal

No, but in theory, an insurance company could use this to calculate your risks differently. Even a 1% signal isn't worthless.

I still find Go too tolerant on this. It should scan your Git history and stash as well, and fail to compile if it finds any unused code there.

How to measure the distance? Easy, compare the apparent size to the actual size and calculate the distance from that. Then how do you measure the actual size? Easy, multiply the apparent size by the distance!

But I do know. Though not specified by the standard, ints are 4 bytes on any standard platform anyone has used in this millennium.

by codeflo 3y ago
I think most C programmers know that the size of ints is implementation defined, and I've programmed on platforms where it was 2 bytes instead of 4. But when someone promises a brain teaser, and then asks an unclear question, you read

That's the word's origin, not its current mathematical meaning. Also, number systems that are not base IIIIIIIIII have been used historically. That humans can only compute in a base that matches the number of fingers we have is a

The point is that most of the time when digits are mentioned, it’s only a coincidental fact about one inelegant representation of the number — and often people are insufficiently aware of that.
